Finally got this guy after 3 weeks of trying to put the sneak on him.
I managed to stalk up to 10 yards to him, thank you concealing brush, before he spotted me and started running back to the woodline. I was able to get the bow up and a quick shot off, CRACK! Hit him right in the head!
At first I was pretty amazed with myself, chest was starting to swell, as well as my ego. Next thing I see is this thing running towards me! I couldn't believe it, I'm shooting with 36o grains up front, a head shot, and this things still running at me.
Second arrow out of the pocket and a hit on the spine right below his head and lights out.
I've always heard how tough the whistle pigs are, but I've never had any problem planting on until today. Thought I was going to have to fix bayonets!
Anyway, the Groundhog season has officially started for me!
Now if I can just keep them out of my garden...
